Example

--Create a window
window = Window:Create()
context = Context:Create(window)
world = World:Create()
local camera = Camera:Create()
camera:SetRotation(35,0,0)
camera:Move(0,0,-6) 
local light = DirectionalLight:Create()
light:SetRotation(35,35,0)
       
--Create the ground
local ground = Model:Box(10,1,10)
ground:SetPosition(0,0,-0.5)
ground:SetColor(0,1,0)

--Create a shape
local shape = Shape:Box(0,0,0, 0,0,0, 10,1,10)
ground:SetShape(shape)
shape:Release()

--Create a box
local box = Model:Box(1,1,1)
box:SetPosition(0,5,0)
box:SetColor(0,0,1)
box:SetMass(1)

--Create a shape
local shape = Shape:Box(0,0,0, 0,0,0, 1,1,1)
box:SetShape(shape)
shape:Release()

while true do        
        if window:Closed() or window:KeyHit(Key.Escape) then return false end

        Time:Update()
        world:Update()
        world:Render()
        context:Sync()
